Ed and I recently visited a paradise... aka the Seychelles!
It was a holiday trip that we spontaneously decided to take. Nevertheless, it turned out to be epic! Except for a few one-minute long rain showers and gloomy skies during sunset, everything that was instantly planned turned out well.
I don't know about you, but I bet nothing can go wrong in this dreamy tropical destination off the coast of East Africa.
Given only 48 hours, we opted to stay in Mahe - the largest island in the archipelago where Seychelles International Airport is located. We didn't have the time to visit the famous islands La Digue and Praslin, and definitely don't have the funds for Desroches island - where Prince William and Kate spent their honeymoon.
However, Mahe island made us feel lucky enough! Here are 20 photos that will make you feel Seychelles is indeed a paradise on earth:
 |
| Seychelles is where the view is always postcard perfect... |
 |
| where you'll find an almost empty beach even during peak season... |
 |
| where you can live your "Little Mermaid" dreams... |
 |
| where waters are amazingly crystal-clear... |
 |
| where a public beach looks like an exclusive luxury retreat... |
 |
| and where you'll fall in love with the world all over again! |
 |
| Seychelles is where you can have quiet mornings like this... |
 |
| where a random spot just across a budget accommodation looks like a glamorous hideaway... |
 |
| where you can be accompanied by the neighborhood dog while having breakfast by the beach... |
 |
| and where you'll realize that he's the luckiest to chill like this all day everyday in paradise. |
 |
Seychelles is where you can do some wildlife-spotting.
Here's a Red Fody hanging around the backyard, |
 |
| and more rare species to identify! |
 |
Seychelles is a home to coco de mer...
(You know, the fruit that is fondly called the butt nut!) |
 |
| the exotic Cannonball Tree... |
 |
| and flowers we have seen for the first time... |
 |
| where the oldest inhabitants are probably these gigantic land tortoises... |
 |
| and where ecotourism successfully thrives! |
 |
| Seychelles is where lush hills meet white sand beaches... |
 |
| where the waves bury your feet... |
 |
and where you let the ocean tempt you for a last-minute dip
before you catch your flight departing paradise. |
Did I just convince you to visit Seychelles?
